Healthcare folks: anyone have info on risk profile for UTI in #transgender folks? I know some has to do with urethral length and I wonder if HRT plays any role. I reckon genitals alone aren't the end-all. Plus bottom surgery exists. Send sources if poss & TIA #LGBTQ #MedTwitter


Mentor just told me that daring to exist authentically is ENOUGH. Not easy to believe as someone community-centered. She then told me a story that exemplified how impact exceeds our awareness & happens it its own time. Reminder: you existing is moving mountains #LGBT #Medicine


This hospital is literally receiving threats based on misinformation. Imagine being so personally against someone's existence that you choose to begin harassing staff at a children's hospital. Please let these people focus on helping kids.

"Boston Childrenโ€™s Hospital has warned employees about mounting threats and is coordinating with law enforcement after far-right activists on social media began targeting the hospital." nbcnews.com/tech/internet/โ€ฆ



Hey #LGBTQinHealthcare, what are your best tips for how to spark institutional change re: #HealthEquity and #inclusion? Please share your wisdom. #LGBT #queer #medtwitter #MedStudent


Could anyone on #medtwitter or #LGBTQinHealthcare share insight on psych residency programs strong on the DEI and advocacy side? Esp on LGBTQ+ issues? Nontrad career changer (mental health side) trying to start exploring. TYIA!


Some of my favorite people here! Thank you Andrea and Robin for your endless support and for believing in me.

Survived day one of my first week if #medschool #exams. Just 4 more days until I'm out of the first stretch of my #MD. Send positive vibes please ๐Ÿ˜…


Thank you to the #queer folks in #medicine who educate and serve as trailblazers. Until this week, I never knew there was such a vibrant #community of #LGBT people in #medicine. You inspire me & make #M1 more bearable. Thank you.

Spent the morning sitting at a table in the lobby next to this sign. I know a lot of people feel too tired for this. But we made a difference today. I KNOW we did. Thank you @GradyHealth and also our residents for helping make this idea a reality!๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿฅโค๏ธ #imjustgladtobehere

Recently found out that my med school's free clinic includes #gender affirming care. The clinics are staffed by med students. I'm excited to apply to be the Gender Affirming Care chair. What better way to represent #queer folks in #medicine? #LGBT ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’•


Only crafty when it comes to my studying. Old yarn = arterial blood supply. Shout out to @NinjaNerdSci for the clear, detailed videos. #medschool #medstudent #anatomy #M1

It was an honor to be selected to share my white coat reflection. As a former mental health clinician, I know the value of a person-centered Dr. It's what I strive to become. bit.ly/3tAgmmk

Language changes culture. #Mentalhealth is foundational to our overall health and should be treated as such. How we talk about it can influence how others talk about it (and seek help).

To the queer, trans & non-binary people out there who need to hear this, you are not alone & have irrevocable worth.


This is a fantastic effort that I hope to hear more about. Crisis behavioral care is such an important community resource. #mentalhealth matters. bit.ly/3llrdNp
